Im looking at getting a onboard charger for my boat but the ones ive seen only have 6' cables on them. I need one that will go from my starting battery in the back of the boat to my trolling batteries in the front of the boat. My boat is a 22' pontoon any suggestions??

Just do an on-line check for onboard battery chargers and then look at the product description. If that does not work, go to your local marine store or sporting good store and just ask someone in the department that sells them. Your last choice, would be to buy the one you want and extend the cables yourself.

I am not in the charger business but you will have a hard time finding one that has cables longer than 6'. Find a good two bank charger and extend the cables of one side. The amperage loss should be very minimal if you use 10-8 gauge wire or whatever the wire is already.
